Why this home stands out

This 1976 single-family home sits on a quiet street in rural Lanexa, offering space and a slower pace. Four bedrooms and two full baths give you room to spread out. The 2,622-square-foot layout works well for anyone who values land and distance from the hustle. You're close enough to military bases for a reasonable commute, yet far enough to enjoy countryside living.

CHICKAHOMINY HAVEN and the Lanexa real estate market

Lanexa is a small, unincorporated community in New Kent County, Virginia—the kind of quiet place where neighbors know each other and traffic is light. Canal Street runs through the heart of the area, lined with modest homes on generous lots. The neighborhood feels rural and peaceful, with open space between properties and a strong sense of privacy. From here, you're about 15 minutes to the historic town of Williamsburg, where shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions fill Colonial-era streets. Interstate 64 is roughly 20 minutes away, making longer drives manageable. Daily errands take you to nearby grocery stores and services in the Williamsburg direction. If you are comparing homes for sale zoned for Warhill High School and homes for sale zoned for J. Blaine Blayton Elementary School, note that this address sits within those attendance zones.

What's nearby

ViVi's Mexican restaurant is just a short walk away at 0.2 miles—perfect for a quick dinner without much fuss. Brickyard Landing park sits 0.5 miles out, offering green space and a place to stretch your legs. Both spots are close enough to reach in minutes. The rural setting means you'll do some driving for groceries and services, but Williamsburg's shops and restaurants are within a 15-minute drive.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Camp Peary is about 32 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown runs 41 minutes. Both bases are reachable for a steady commute. VA loan financing is common in this area, and the home's age and condition support straightforward financing paths. The quiet location and space appeal to those seeking a calmer base-area lifestyle.

Room to grow

Four bedrooms give each person their own space—a home office, guest room, or kids' bedrooms. Two full baths mean less morning conflict. The 2,622 square feet spreads across a single story, making it easy to navigate and maintain. A generous lot offers room for outdoor projects, a garden, or future additions.

Data sources: Flood zone and base flood elevation come from FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. Property elevation is sampled from a single point on the parcel using the USGS National Map elevation service — actual elevations across a single property can vary by several feet higher or lower than the figure shown. Use these numbers as a starting reference and do your own due diligence (a professional survey or elevation certificate) before relying on them for any financial, insurance, or construction decision.
